Job 8:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ Shall not [the forefathers] teach you and tell you and utter words out of their hearts (the deepest part of their nature)?

¹¹ Can the rush or papyrus grow up without marsh? Can the flag or reed grass grow without water?

¹² While it is yet green, in flower, and not cut down, it withers before any other herb [when without water].
